thats very helpful thanx, i cant believe that somebody actually made these things fake.

 

i can...thats what e-bay is for...

 

maybe we should rename it f-bay for fake or getting f'ed in the a

 

That's precisely why I warned you about that turbo set-up for $500.

 

i guess your right, but i my case i have proof that the said turbo does work

 

it may work sure, but will it work for a long period of time? Will you get 5,000 miles out of it or 50,000?

Counterfeit parts work, they just don't work as well as the real deal.

 

thats a good statement, ill have to check back with the others on that

 

Just do your research. Find out exactly what brands of EVERYTHING are being used, then goggle (or whatever search engine) that brand along with "counterfeit", there may be some FAQ's out there that show the differences (like what Tein has done above)

Just be careful buying anything that high-level from anything other than a guaranteed, certified dealer.
